ONLY THREE
DAYS
ARE LEFT
Next week when you have decided to buy oue of
PHILLIPS & CREW CO.’S Pianos at the Special
Prices it will be too late—other wiser people will
have captured all of them.
One customer who looked last week at a piano
costing $275.00 was surprised yesterday to find the
same instrument marked down to $225.00, and she
promptly bought it. Next week the same piano will
be $275.00—the usual lowest price.
Two splendid bargains were added today — A
FISHER PIANO IN OAK, fine upright piano for
which we regularly get $375.00. Marked special
this week $200.00. A STERLING COLONIAL Up
right fiano in beautiful Mahogany—regular price
$400, marked this week $250.00.
The wonder is that at such prices wc have any of
them left, but the terrible storm of wind and rain
kept many ladies from coming to buy. Out-of-town
people are sending in money with their orders—
trusting to get the piano of their selection or an
other just as good.
We will sell every one of these Pianos this week,
for the prices talk.
Only Three Days Remain.
Come at Once.

BIRTHPLACE OF OLD GLORY
GIVES HONOR TO THE FLAG.
By Private Leased Wire.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 14.—Proba
bly In no other city of the country
Flag day so generally observed as In
Philadelphia, and quite naturally, for It
*** In this city that the flag was given
birth. Congress, assembled at Inde
pendence hall 121 years ago, resolvsd:
„ That the flog of the thirteen United
Stales be thlrtsen stripes, alternate red
. *nd white; that the Union he thirteen
•tars, white In a blue Held, represent
ing the new constellation.”
At the beginning of the revolutionary
*ar. ,md with the formal repudiation
ill thi nag of St. George and the
t niar Jack of England, there was no
American flag under which the Im
pending battles were to be fought.
There were conglomerate colonial flags
*nd here and there a private banner
M same great landed proprietor, but no
hrogniaed American flag.
../here was no llttla worriment over
Ibis fact, and the Continental or Con
federate congress set about agreeing
»P-n the form, character and general
Purport of one. Congress accordingly
Appointed Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
‘Anrh and Benjamin Harrison as a
committee to agree upon and formally
"Pprt a flag design.
Near the close of the year 1775 they
reported In favor of adopting the Brit.
Ish Union Jack, plus thirteen stripes,
as the flag. This report was never act
ed on, or, at least, was not adoptsd.
Washington wanted a five-pointed star
added; others were Inclined to adopt a
modified form of the Dutch flag, with
Its broad red stripes.
Finally, on June 14, 1777, congress
agreed upon a flag of thirteen stripes
with thlrtsen stars on a blue field, thus
appropriating a little here and a little
there until the star and the strips and
the colors, red,whits and blue, apspared
upon the banner, and thee "Stars and
Stripes" became the Insignia of the re
public. Of course, every one recalls
the work of Betsy Ross, who no doubt
suggested much as well as did the sew.
Ing of the first flag.
At the Betsy Ross house, 231 Arch
street, the national anthsm was sung
today by school cbldren and addrtsses
appropriate to the day made by rep
resentatives of various patriotic socie
ties. The house has been tnrned over
to the Federal government by the
American Flag House and Betsy Ross
Memorial Association, and will be
maintained as a public memorial and
museum of colonial and revolutionary
relics.
